Perhaps he can save his chances at retaining the Governors seat in California if he can lure two NFL teams to LA. Eh, probably not!
Regardless, Ahnold went to the meetings in Grapevine, Texas in an effort to promote giving the LA area to NFL teams. Can this work? They've already lost the Raiders and Rams. Can they support two teams? Will they be able to get two stadiums up and built in the LA/Anaheim area? Not sure...
Schwarzenegger hopes to get two NFL teams for L.A.

GRAPEVINE, Texas -- California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said Tuesday he wants the NFL to return to the Los Angeles area -- with two teams.
After meeting with a group of NFL owners, Schwarzenegger said he was there to make sure "we're getting not only one NFL team to the Los Angeles area, Southern California, but to actually get two teams. That's why I came. Why limit it?"
NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue and a committee of 11 owners met to hear proposals from Los Angeles and Anaheim. Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Anaheim Mayor Curt Pringle were there to make separate presentations but joined the governor for a joint session.
"There's enough room and enough audience to have two teams," Schwarzenegger said. "We just have to all work together and make it happen."
